RAMBLING LIFE

表紙が可愛かったのでつい買ってしまったLeonard Cohenの詩集から。

THE FLOW

You have been told to
"go with the flow"
but as you know
from your studies,
there is no flow,
nor is there actually
any coming or going.
These are merely
helpful concepts
for the novice monk.
You can start smoking again,
and what is called "your death"
and what is called "your life"
you can watch now
throught the eyes of wisdom.
This is why
the Sages of Japan
names their cigarettes
"Hope " and "Peace"
and "Peace Light" and "Short Hope"
and "Short Hope Light."
